Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method ot manufacturing a fibre product, the stock being prepared so that it has a predetermined fibre water concentration and contains predetermined additives and chemicals
- the invention also reiates to an arrangement for manufacturing such a fibre product from a fibre stock which is briefly stored in a machine vat
- a male mould is already known from DE-C2-38 37 467 In this mould the perforations are formed by openings between spheres which are fixed to one another at their point of contact
- a problem with known arrangements for manufacturing a fibre product is that, in order for it to be profitable the product has to be manufactured in vary large quantities. This means that it has hitherto not been economically justifiable, for example, to use fibre packagings as an alternative to polystyrene (PS) or expanded polystyrene (EPS) packagings, which are relatively inferior from an environmental standpoint.
- PS polystyrene
- EPS expanded polystyrene
- a customer for a fibre product usually wants to have his logotype placed at a suitable point on the product.
- the finished product is provided with such a logotype in a special hot pressing operation This obviously means an increase in the cost of manufacture and the time taken to manufacture the product
- the object of the present invention is to arrive at a method of manufacturing a fibre product which means that the shape of the product can be easily modified, thereby permitting manufacture in short se ⁇ es, and that manufactuie can be accomplished more quickly with a lower energy consumption and bettci surface finish than previously According to the invention this is achieved through the following combination of measures
- a first male mould performs an operating cycle in which it is first immersed in the stock in the moulding tank and fibres in the stock are induced by means of a vacuum to successively form the future product with a fibre layei of predetermined thickness
- the male mould is then removed from the moulding tank and assumes a predetermined position
- a female mould performs a cyclical series ol movements in which it is brought undei force against the male mould in the said predetermined position so that a first pressing occurs, following which the fibre product is transferred to the female mould which is moved to a predetermined position
- a second male mould performs an operating cycle in which it is first biought under force against the female mould in the said predetermined position, so that the fibre product is subjected to a second pressing, following which the female mould assumes a predetermined position in which the fibre product is released therefrom, the fibre product is subjected to final drying under the effect of microwave or IR radiation
- a machine stand a moulding tank arranged on or connected to the stand and enclosed by a collecting tank, a pump arranged in a line between the machine vat and the moulding tank and adapted to pump an abundance of fibre stock from the machine val to the moulding tank in such a way that excess stock is able to flow over the brim ol the moulding tank and down into the collecting tank, a moulding unit arranged on the stand and adapted in one operating cycle to first immerse a fn st male mould in the moulding tank, a fibre product with a certain layer thickness being produced on the tool in a manner known in the art by extracting the stock water, and thereafter to move the male mould to a first horizontal position, a pick-up unit arranged on the stand and adapted to cyclically move a female mould, first to the first horizontal position in order there to sub)ect the fibre product to a first pressing and to pick this from the first male mould and thereafter move the female tool to a second horizontal position, a pressing section arranged on
- the radiation sources are microwave or IR radiation sources, by means of which rapid, energy-efficient drying is achieved
- FIG. 1 and 2 show an example of an arrangement for performing the method according to the invention, and more specifically two different stages in the said method.
- the figure shows a plan view of a male mould with a relief, which produces a logotype on a fibre product.
- 1 denotes a machine stand and 2a a moulding tank, arranged on oi against the stand and surrounded by a collecting tank 2b
- a preferably electrically driven pump 3 is arranged in a pipeline 4a between the moulding tank 2a and a machine vat, not shown on the drawing, tor briefly storing fibre stock,
- the pump 3 is adapted to pump an abundance of stock so that excess stock flows over the brim of the moulding tank 2a and down into the collecting tank 2b, which connects by way of a line 4b with the pump 3, so that excess stock is also returned to the moulding tank 2a
- the person skilled in the art will perceive that for this to succeed there is a need to control the pump 3 and valves, not shown in more detail, in the lines 4a and 4b
- a movably supported moulding unit 5 with a male mould 6 is situated on the stand
- the moulding unit 5 is adapted to allow the male mould 6 to periorm an operating cycle in which the latter is first immersed in the stock in the moulding tank 2a and assumes a first vertical position v 1 , to be moved aftei a certain time to a horizontal position hi , see figs.1 ,2 During the time the male tool 6 is immersed in the stock, the stock water is drawn oft through ducts in the tool, fibres in the stock being collected on the outside of the tool 6 so that after the said period of time a fibre pioduct is produced with the desired layer thickness
- the tool is preferably of a known type, manufactured by sintering spheres together, a body with a predetermined porosity being formed
- the female mould 8, in the first horizontal position hi is adapted to be first moved against the male mould 6 in order thereby to subject the fibre product to a first pressing and thereafter to be moved from the male mould 6 and thereby pick the product from the latter
- the female mould 8 and the fibre product are then moved to the second horizontal position h2, see fig 1
- the female mould 8, as shown, for example, in fig 3, is formed with a relief section which on the fibre product produces impressions in the form of a logotype, an in this case also an environmental symbol
- a pressing section 9 is situated on the stand 1 downstream ot the pick-up unit
- This section comprises a movably supported second male mould 10, adapted to be cyclically moved between the second horizontal position h2 and a second vertical position v2
- the male mould 10 is first moved forcibly against the female mould 8 in order to increase the dry solids content of the fibre product
- the male mould 10 is thereafter moved from the female mould 8 and moved to the vertical position v2 in which it releases the fibre product, so that the latter, as denoted in the drawing by the letter P, can drop down on to a conveyor belt 1 1, see fig 2
- the said radiation sources are preferably microwave or IR radiation sources
- the tool movements are performed as efficiently as possible without unnecessary pauses, that is to say during the work of the pressing section 9 the male mould 6 of the moulding unit 5 assumes the position v l again, see fig 1 Similarly the work in the pick-up stage 7, as will be seen from tig 2, takes place at the same time that the pressing section 9 is performing the work which concludes with the product P being dropped on to the belt 1 1
